Although
Jared only spent 13 short years with his family, (Sept. 23, 1985
- Sept. 29, 1998),
he really had a great time doing
all the fun things a kid usually does. Below you will learn about
his birth and short life, and some of the neat things Jared did, even as
a baby, that set him apart from most children.
As
Jared's mom, I welcome you to my grief project, JaredStory.com. You
will find an abundance, (over five years), of stories about Jared, research
concerning bullying, depression, suicide prevention and suicide, as
well as some motherly advise. There are pages with serious subject
matter, as well as pages filled with laughter. This website
is not meant to be a sad or depressing website, but an educating, hopeful
and loving memorial to my son, and all children who have gone home early.

be sure and read my favorite story about Jared, "The
Skittles War," and make, (and eat) Jared's favorite cake, "Dirt
Cake," which I call, "Worm Cake." It will take you back to those
happy moments in your own life when all your cares were gone.
Jared's
loss filled our lives with grief,
but the healing has come. Our family has found hope in understanding
Jared's purpose in life and in The
Meaning of Life. As I have written some of Jared biography
down for others to read, I muse over the memories I have of Jared, mostly
wonderful memories. I challenge all my readers to write down their
own wonderful (and maybe not so wonderful) memories to read at a later
time in life. Your thoughts now become someone's history and wonderful
memories to cherish forever.

School District investagators concerning the assault. This
is a recording of a recording and it isn't real clear, but worth the download
effort. Jared had a real mellow voice. Note: If you have a
slow load wav, wait for it to load entirely and then play again from the
start. 5 minutes long
